I know Bush also went on Letterman, but at least Bush had the guts to regularly face questions from a hostile press including that cranky, nasty, bitch Helen Thomas. Obama goes on TV for all the softball questions and doesn't have the guts to even answer questions from a press that is completely biased towards him. What a gutless idiot.

really?

every candidate/president goes on letterman. they also all at times face tough questions.

all i'm asking for is consistency-and that seems an impossible request. all presidents take vacation, play golf, take softball questions, take hard questions, etc, etc, etc. obama is no more or less guilty than anyone who came before.

I was referring to his seemingly allergic response to occasionally addressing the press corps in person, without the prescripted softballs.

Terrific point and something I tried to get across yesterday.

It's pointless to discuss ANYTHING with someone who can't concede these facts.

note that both obama and romney have been lacking in that area. it's why i don't sweat it, regardless. besides, the 'one-ups- manship gets tedious, when in fact both parties are guilty of the same things..over, and over. it's why i don't care that bush went on vacation, or obama, or reagan, etc.
i go on vacation. i could be working. who couldn't?? and i make myself available in case something important comes up, just like whoever is in the white house at the time. it's really ridiculous.
